Thank you so much for tuning in! Next week, we've got something exciting happening - my first foray (finally!) outside of Edmonton. I'll be chatting with Kristen Dyck, personal branding and communications strategist and owner of AVRO Creative, based in Calgary, Alberta. I'm very interested to meet and hear about the journey of someone from outside of the show's city of origin.

This week, I sat down for a second time with Sylvia Cheverie, co-owner of Chartier, to talk about using crowdsourcing as market research for opening a business, and about the many intricacies of opening a bricks and mortar business. (Check out Sylvia's first interview from last year here!)

It was an open and honest conversation (financing isn't easy and unexpected costs always arise!) and I hope it's helpful for anyone out there who is looking to open a physical shop, restaurant, cafe, etc.!

You may have also noticed a slight change in how the podcast was introduced on this episode.

I've been wanting to make this change for a long time, and have finally done it. The word "female," which was originally chosen for the podcast's tagline simply because it rolled off the tongue well, isn't representative of the inclusivity I want this show to have. This new tagline embodies the show - and my values - much more accurately.

The future isn't male or female, the future is inclusive.

Thank you so much for tuning in to this week's episode of the show. Next week, we'll meet Navin Sidhu, who took her degree in civil engineering and turned it into a career in interior design with her company, Fab Hab.

This week, I sat down with Alana Everett-Yim, who has been running her business, Woodbridge Communications, for 20 years. It was fantastic to talk to someone with so much experience, both in business and in motherhood, who was willing to really open up about, well...everything!
